EXPOSURE TO AI
42%

OBSERVED IN REAL USE · Anthropic 2026
n/a
Not yet measured in the Anthropic Economic Index. The exposure figure is a capability estimate only.
A co-pilot is coming for the busywork, not the wheel.
42% of this role’s O*NET tasks are within reach of today’s AI. That is the core-weighted exposure score from Eloundou et al. 2023 (“GPTs are GPTs”). It measures a capability ceiling, not a headcount forecast. In the blast radius. A real slice of the work is already automatable. The rest isn’t.
WHAT AI CAN ALREADY DO
- Summarize test results and report to appropriate authorities
- Input details of specimen processing, analysis, and technical issues into logs or laboratory information systems (LIS)
- Input details of specimens into logs or computer systems
- Describe chromosome, FISH and aCGH analysis results in International System of Cytogenetic Nomenclature (ISCN) language
- Communicate to responsible parties unacceptable specimens and suggest remediation for future submissions
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Harvest cell cultures using substances such as mitotic arrestants, cell releasing agents, and cell fixatives
- Prepare biological specimens such as amniotic fluids, bone marrow, tumors, chorionic villi, and blood, for chromosome examinations
- Select or prepare specimens and media for cell cultures using aseptic techniques, knowledge of medium components, or cell nutritional requirements
- Prepare slides of cell cultures following standard procedures
- Stain slides to make chromosomes visible for microscopy
THE HONEST PART. A percentage is not a pink slip. High exposure usually means a role shrinks and shifts toward judgment, direction and responsibility: the parts a model can’t sign its name to. Exposure ≠ displacement. Breathe.
